Our Drivers

Rolling V drivers are much more than just transit professionals. They are guardians, counselors, and mentors to the children they transport to and from school. We hold an annual School Bus Personnel Appreciation Week that culminates in a barbecue where appreciation plaques and safe driver awards are given out.

All Rolling V school bus drivers must meet the following criteria:

• Drivers are at least 21 years old.
• Drivers have passed a physical examination and meet all local, state and federal requirements.
• Drivers possess a valid school bus driver's license issued by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
• Drivers are required to attend safety training.
• Drivers are subject to criminal background checks.
• Drivers shall take reasonable and appropriate action to prevent students from using indecent or profane language while being transported.
• Drivers will not consume alcohol or use any drug or controlled substance before or during work.
• Drivers will submit to any and all drug testing required by state or federal law, or Rolling V.
• Drivers will not use tobacco at any time while on duty.
• No driver shall remove a student from the bus at a location other than the approved bus stop without prior authorization.
• Drivers will immediately report any accident that involves the school bus.
• Drivers will follow established bus routes as determined and approved by the appropriate School District.
• Drivers will have in their possession at all times their school bus driver's license, a working watch, a map of their bus route, a list of their students, and a route sheet indicating authorized stops.
